A. Water and Sewer billing statements for single-family residential, multifamily residential, commercial and irrigation accounts shall be made in the name of the property owner, or pursuant to a property owner’s written agreement with the City, to a management company, tenant or other authorized agent.

B. For residential parcels classified as single-family by the storm water code, Section 13.18.040.E, the storm water fee shall be billed with the sanitary sewer or on the water bill for the entire parcel if the property is served by those utilities.

C. For “other developed” parcels (including duplexes), a single storm water-only bill will be issued to the property owner (taxpayer) of record per the King County Assessor Records. At the written request of the property owner, the bill may be forwarded to a property management company or a payment processing center; however, no storm water billings for “other developed” parcels will be made in the name of a tenant. Property held in common by several owners may be billed to a homeowners’ association or property management company.

D. A separate storm water bill shall be issued to the property owner (taxpayer) of record per the King County Assessor Records for single-family and other developed parcels within the City which are not city water or sanitary sewer customers.

E. Billings made to persons other than the property owner shall not relieve the owner of the property from liability for payments of rates and charges for water service, hydrant use, sewer service and storm water management service, including, but not limited to, monthly charges, commodity charges, delinquency charges, lien fees and court fees and shall not in any way affect the lien rights of the City against the property to which the services are furnished.
